Five questions on nature governance for boards
Extreme weather is forcing boards to rethink climate governance—this resource shows how moving from risk management to financial quantification can unlock resilience, insight and long‑term value.
In this resource, Dr Charles Ehrhart captures and distils key insights on nature governance from a board perspective, focusing on what effective oversight looks like in practice.
Framed around five critical questions, it explores how boards can adopt a unified climate and nature lens, embed nature into strategy and capital allocation, and strengthen oversight through better questions and collaboration. It also reflects an Aotearoa perspective, highlighting the value of Māori worldviews and stewardship in shaping long-term governance thinking.
For directors, the message is clear: nature is no longer a peripheral issue—it is central to resilience, risk, and opportunity.
